Introduction

 Greetings,

Soon, this part of the Staunton Democrats blog will be filled with details about Democrat led achievements such as the recent Inflation Reduction Act.  We will try to focus on local accomplishments as well as state and national.

Democrats are generally humble people and think more about the world as a whole rather than just themselves.  Thus, we are generally very bad at tooting our own horn when we do something good.

We have numerous things to accomplish but our record is pretty spectacular !

Stay tuned.

Democracy Was Saved on 4/4/23 ! And I Am Not Talking About The Orange One.

 A VERY important thing happened on Tuesday April 4, 2023.  Democracy was saved ! While most people were glued to the news about the orange man with a curved string pancake mullet (or a duck tail) for a hairstyle but my thoughts and prayers and crossed fingers and toes were focused on Wisconsin ! We can thank the Wisconsin Dems for saving democracy.  Huh ? Wisconson Dems just helped elect, by a wide margin (11 points), the progressive candidate for the Wisconsin Supreme Court Janet Protasiewicz to a ten year term starting this coming August. This election shifts the Wisconsin Supreme Court ideology to 4-3 in favor of progressives. Why is this so important ? For the past 13 years, Wisconsin Republicans have been gerrymandering and rigging the entire election system to: Guarantee a permanent Republican super-majority in the state legislature that is capable of overturning any Governor veto Guarantee a permanent Republican Wisconsin Congressional majority Guarantee a pe...

How, pray tell, is he going to do that ?  California is going to make it's own insulin and sell it at near cost. Last week at a press conference, Newsom announced that California has secured a contract with a generic insulin manufacturer , Civica, to begin making some of the most common types of insulin (glargine, lispro and aspart) towards the end of the year. Warning ! Medical information ahead !  Glargine is a long lasting insulin (typically lasting 24 hours and it is usually injected once a day).  Lispro is a very fast acting insulin but doesn't last very long.  Aspart is another fast acting insulin but may last somewhat longer than Lispro.  This combina...
